Freddie Mercury & Jim Hutton photographed with their cat Dorothy, 1980′s

When Freddie was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987, he offered Jim an exit on their relationship. He told Jim he would understand if he left. In a Freddie Mercury documentary, Jim recalls telling him, “I love you, Freddie - I’m not going anywhere.” And he didn’t; Jim stayed with Freddie until he died. He nursed him, cared for him, and was there when he took his last breath.

🏳️‍🌈 Taylor Swift: “Just Another Ally”? 🏳️‍🌈

So, first, some background. I have listened to Taylor since her country debut. I rarely paid much attention to her celebrity life but I was aware of her general public reputation, good and bad. I loved her music more as she went more pop on Red and 1989 and reputation. I casually stanned the general Easter eggs of the rep era music videos. When the reputation tour premiered on Netflix January 2019, I turned in my stan card, rediscovered her entire discography fully, followed her on Instagram, and started playing the pre-Lover Easter egg game. When Taylor mentioned loving Tumblr in her Entertainment Weekly video about things that inspire/influence her, I sought out other Swifties to share the era excitement with. I made this blog to document the egg hunt for what would eventually be the Lover era. In the process of the spring/summer 2019 egg hunt, I came across something mind-blowing.

I had absolutely no idea who the fuck Karlie, Dianna, or Emily were. At all. Or that a world existed where Taylor Swift wasn’t in the straight relationships her music and image seemed to suggest.

Weirdly enough, in not paying close attention to her career outside of listening to her music, I also simultaneously assumed she had non-committedly designated herself as something along the lines of bisexual/“not straight”/wouldn’t rule out having relationships with women during the 1989 era. That just seemed to me to be a thing that she might have said in an interview or two (in reality, she did not). Welcome to New York certainly covered the lyrical facet of her LGBTQ+ —at the least allyship, at the most personal attachment to—community involvement as a celebrity, as far as I was concerned. But I never considered her to have potentially had actual relationships with a female or that some of her songwriting might have been about women.

I assumed and asserted a lot for someone who hadn’t actually been paying very much attention either way. As it turns out, she has never publicly addressed the topic of her sexuality or identity as of March 2020.

During the months of being overwhelmed with information May-September and trying to catch up on Taylor’s career, music, and the existence of parallel relationship shipping multiverses on top of her usual blitzkrieg of promoting an album while throwing eggs out like candy, I really rejected and resisted the Gaylor community theories on the basis of Taylor’s PR. The onslaught of theories that seemingly held no water was completely overwhelming to wade through in the midst of Taylor’s public LGBTQ+-centered political awakening as a supposed ally.

If I got nasty with you or questioned your experience and knowledge and intuition, I truly apologize. The LGBTQ+ community is constantly on the frontlines of trying to explain and combat a society programmed to operate in a heteronormative manner, and Gaylors, like so many other community members and allies, are constantly being charged with the task of convincing onlookers and explaining their existence, and that field is most certainly not level or fair or just. I have always considered myself an—at the very least—open ally to the LGBTQ+ community. I was raised that way. But for seemingly inexplicable reasons that Swifties experience on a personal level over and over again and don’t want to admit, I found myself working through the engrained heteronormative/homophobic PR tangle while trying to approach this subject that I had no personal investment in. I had to deprogram the unrealized homophobia in my own my mind that held me back from simply just honestly considering the possibility that Taylor Swift MIGHT NOT be just the ally she presents herself to be and she MIGHT NOT be as straight as her public image conveys. Thus I spent last fall and winter in a more neutral state of observation as I realized that I did not have anything to lose or gain either way in being more open-minded about what is known and potentially unknown about Taylor’s life.

What I found in looking harder and smarter was clarity. I found well-researched evidence to take into consideration. I found intelligent, intuitive, level-headed people who value community and communication. I more deeply understood that the theories and speculations and brainstorming that initially seemed completely outlandish were built on solid foundations.

This introduction is much longer than anticipated and I’m not sure that whoever might be reading this all even cares, but I wanted to explain some of where and how I started and how I got here in the hopes that someone else might feel understood and relate on the newbie or Swiftie level.

All in all, after basically an entire year of poking around, unearthing the foundations of a world of information that was completely new to me, I am now compiling a list that I wish I had had access to at the top of this rabbit hole. There are more than enough masterposts out there concerning this subject from a community of incredibly intelligent, observant, and talented fans. This masterpost isn’t meant to take anything away from other blogs or fans or the work they have put in over the years sifting through plethora of information. I would simply just like a space for the information and evidence that I have personally found most compelling. Many masterposts focus on her female relationships as evidence and those are ENTIRELY valid in their purpose of providing context and relationship timelines. My compilation will certainly not cover everything there is to know. Other blogs should be sought out for consideration if you find yourself interested in learning more. My hope is that in making the effort to compile this, it can be just one of many open windows into a realistic concept that many initially find difficult or overwhelming to process for a variety of reasons.

The focus of this particular masterpost is on Taylor, her words, and her lyrics, presented in an approachable way so that someone new to this concept but empathetic to the themes can explore and understand for themselves how Taylor can be seriously considered not just another LGBTQ+ ally but as a member of the community herself.

A massive THANK YOU to every blogger I have encountered over the past year that has shed a little more (day)light on this topic.

“Just Another Ally” Speeches and Statements:

“She tells the world that no one can judge us, and no one can stop us.” - GLAAD Awards (2016)

“So I’ve been writing songs since I was twelve and my songwriting has a lot of the time been called confessional songwriting, which I think is really accurate. And the reason that my songwriting has stayed confessional and stayed about my real life and my real feelings, even when my life has gotten bigger in a sense, more written about and more speculated upon, I still kept writing songs about my actual life. And that’s because you guys seem to care about my actual...and I appreciate that so much. And it’s my opinion that being vulnerable and being honest about how you feel is really brave. And, you guys, June is Pride month. And I think a lot about how it's very brave to be vulnerable about your feelings in any sense, in any situation, but it's even more brave to be honest about your feelings and who you love when you know that it might be met with adversity from society. This month and every month I want to send my love and respect to everybody who has been brave enough to be honest about how they feel, to live their lives as they are, as they feel they should be, as they identify. This is a month where I think we need to celebrate how far we've come, but I think we also need to acknowledge how far we have left to go. I want to send my love and respect to everybody who hasn't felt comfortable enough to come out yet... and may you do that on your own time and may we end up in a world where everyone can live and love equally and no one has to be afraid to say how they feel. When it comes to feelings and when it comes to love and searching for someone to spend your whole life with... it's all just really, really delicate." - Reputation tour (2018)

“...You want a world where we’re all treated equally under the law, regardless of who we love, or how we identify.” - VMAs (2019)

“My idea that I had, it starts in an apartment, like you know, we get in a big fight. I storm out and then all of sudden I go out and a parade is happening. And whatever makes you YOU, you know, just like emo kids, theater bros, dancing, Lala Land, everything! [Brendon: Nailed it!] And then there’s me: it’s like dancers, cats, gay pride, people in country-western boots and I start riding a unicorn. Everything that makes me, ME!” - Miss Americana (2020)

Rare short video of Taylor and Charity in easter 2010 and yes, that’s Austin Swift singing. Seemed appropriate to upload it today.

I apologize for the quality considering it’s a facebook video recorded from my iPod.

so cuteeee

i am shook to my goddamn CORE. THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE

hashtagloveloses

peak LGBT ally is robert pattinson and taylor lautner kissing each other so that kristen stewart didn’t have to be straight live on TV

the-incedible-sulk

OKAY BUT LOOK AT HER FACE! LOOK AT HOW HAPPY SHE IS THAT HES NOT MAKING HER GO THROUGH WITH WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT

The movies might have sucked, but the actors have redeeming qualities

donnasweettttttttt

every single thing robert pattinson ever does is intentionally genetically engineered to make stephenie meyer’s mormon blood boil hot enough for her to feel the constant neverending pain he experienced having to make and promote her movies for all those years. this is more than lgbt allyship. this is revenge.
